The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 125

After Kevin finished speaking, Natalie, who was on the other end of the phone, chuckled in disbelief. What Kevin had told her earlier really sounded like something Selena would say.

Selena was sold off numerous times. Thus, she was emotionally resilient. She wouldn't dwell on minor issues or exhaust herself over them.

Even if she were the one at fault, she would justify her actions.

It was hard to reason with people like her because she'd act like a jerk; if someone stooped to her level, she'd escalate things to the extreme.

Sometimes, even the brave were afraid of those who had nothing to lose, which was why Kevin didn't know how to act in front of a reckless woman like Selena.

Kevin regretted it so much. Of all the people he could have messed with, why did he choose to mess with such a difficult person like Selena?

That little spit really had more consequences than he had expected.

"Please, can you help me think of a way to get out of this, Ms. Natalie? I should be enjoying my old age with dignity now, not caught up in all this trouble."

Kevin uttered with remorse, "Selena is going to ruin Langley Group's reputation by causing a scene like this. Is she not afraid of affecting the company's share prices?"

"She has no stake in Langley Group; of course, she's not afraid of it."

Feeling troubled, Natalie rubbed her forehead.

"I'll send someone to the company. But before that, I'll have to discuss it with Grandma. Also, I'll call Selena and Mr. Langley to stop her from making a scene for now."

"Thank you, Ms. Natalie. I'm counting on you for this." Kevin continued, "With Selena throwing such a huge tantrum here and Victor refusing to let me leave, it's honestly pretty frightening. I've never seen such a shrew in my life before."

Natalie was a little upset, but she found it amusing at the same time. Hence, she decided not to comment further.

"I'll give Victor a call now."

"Okay."

As soon as Natalie hung up Kevin's call, she dialed Victor's number immediately. There was a long pause after the call was connected, and then a voice came through.

"Hello, Mr. Langley," Natalie said in a cold voice. "You can tell Selena to stop messing around now."

"How could you say that, Natalie? Selena was so humiliated that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She even wanted to end her life! How could you not be on your family's side, accusing Selena of making a fuss?"

Natalie could hear the anger and disgust in Victor's voice as he said, "Even though you were upset at how we asked you to leave the Langleys, you shouldn't go against your sister like this."

"We cut ties a long time ago, Mr. Langley. I now use 'Walker' instead of 'Langley' as my last name. You're not my father, and Selena isn't my sister either."

Natalie went on, "I'm giving you this order as the principal shareholder—control your daughter and put an end to this drama. Don't try to pull that sympathy act on me, Mr. Langley. I'm giving you an order now, not having a discussion or begging you.

"If you keep letting Selena stir things up, and it impacts the company's stock, I'll tell Grandma about it and reclaim the shares you hold."

Victor's expression twisted with anger. "You think you can do that, Natalie?"

"You can try and see if I can, Mr. Langley."
